Not very good
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to replace my old receiver. I had some issues with it not responding and cause speaker noise on new speakers. I returned this

Posted .Hi conepa, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your STRDH590 receiver. We regret to hear you jad some noise-related issues with the unit and it had to be returned. This is usually not the case for our receivers nor the experience we want you to have.
If the unit is not responding, we recommend performing a factory reset. To reset the unit,
Turn off the receiver.
Hold down (power) on the receiver for 5 seconds.
“CLEARING” flashes on the display panel for a while, then changes to “CLEARED *”.
And, for speaker noise, it could be that the speaker wires are not properly connected to the speaker port. Also, when connecting speakers, make sure that the speakers are within the impedance rating of 6-16 ohms.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Sam
Tripping up "Protect" mode
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Set up was easy, ready to turn it on in few minutes. Power it on and within few moments I hear loud "pop!" noise from speakers and "Protect Mode" flickering on front display before it shuts down. I tried to reset, check wiring to see if there's any crossover but nothing. Went back to old Onkyo receiver and it works fine. Returning it to see if this is defective unit.

Yamaha worked when Sony failed
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was the second one ordered. The first was returned because Netflix , PBS along with some Amazon Prime programs did not have audio. The second one had the same problem. After speaking with the Geek Squad it was suggested to switch brands. I subsequently order a Yamaha which was cheaper and functioned perfectly.

Junk
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought the cable was going out. I thought the flat screen TV was bad. Nope. This device, which also routes video from multiple devices (cable, 4K DVD player, games...) to your TV, started cutting out and wouldn't stop. Changed all HDMI cables. Same problem. Every other device still works fine. Only had it 2 months. The Bestbuy site also says I cannot return it. Never thought I'd write a Sony product a bad review, but this one is junk.

Came late
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I waited all day Wednesday for my package to show up and it never did I had to wait till Friday to receive my package so I’m pretty mad. Customer service women are petty and horrible compared to the men and I just want my refund for this item for being late. This is the first time they have ever disappointed me and I hope it doesn’t happen again when I go to pick up a new PlayStation with the refund money I shall be receiving.

Bad Investment
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This system is not worth the price. The system hops from one input to another when first turned on, DVD, Media Box, Sat Rec, ect. I saw others had the same issue. Wish I had gone with Yamaha instead.

- Pros mentioned:Bluetooth, Ease of use, Power
Great sounding Amp - easy to setup
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Plenty of power, great sound, and was very easy to setup. Auto calibration works great to sort out how far your speakers are from you to optimize sound. The 4K hdmi pass throughs work great to just run 1 cable to your tv and everything else through the receiver and still get a great picture. Love the standby bluetooth feature! - This lets you turn on the receiver from your phone and start playing music without having to grab the remote or walk up to it to turn on. Simple thing, but we use that feature all the time.
I would recommend this to a friend Sound protect mode
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver SUCKS! It's constantly going into sound protect mode regardless of volume. We have tried everything and based on other reviews, our issue seems to be the biggest complaint with this receiver. I would NOT recommend buying this receiver because unless you have it on "mute," it's not going to work. Huge waste of money!
